There isn’t a standard that is broadly-adopted, but NUT (https://networkupstools.org/) has reverse-engineered drivers for nearly every UPS out there, usually each brand has their standard so as long as the brand is supported it will work. (NUT is also what TrueNAS, Synology, QNAP, etc use internally for their UPS support)

I’ve had good luck with using NUT with APC UPSes (both consumer models and buying used enterprise rack-mount models).

One cool thing you can do with NUT is share the UPS state over the network, so that multiple machines can respond to the power state instead of just the machine that is plugged in via USB directly.

Checking what a fridge cost you in 1980 in an old Sears catalog, you’d be paying $4000 today accounting for inflation.

What people call “demonetized” on YouTube is actually called “no or limited ads” inside of YouTube Studio. It’s not Google but the advertisers who don’t want their Coca-Cola ads shown on those videos. YouTube Premium views still pay out on those videos since they’re not ad views.

If everyone paid for YouTube Premium and didn’t use the ad-supported product, then advertiser boycotts would have no power.

Yep. And if you look at video platforms that actually have to pay for their own bandwidth (Floatplane by LTT), you’re going to end up paying $5 PER CREATOR. Hosting video on Vimeo is also super expensive.

Backblaze B2 for automatic syncing of all the little files

Glacier for long term archiving of old big files that never change

Just stupid puns that come to mind when I set it up. Synology NAS is “Rainy” since the box had “be your own cloud” written on it. M1 MacBook is “Apple Pie” because being ARM it’s just a big Raspberry Pi right? Etc
